About Sherri

Sherri Brothers, LPC, helps people who are overwhelmed by relationship strain, trauma, anxiety, or grief. She focuses on clear goals and simple steps to reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at making each session count for busy lives.

Sherri has spent more than 20 years working in a local social service agency. She has particular experience with people affected by the child welfare system and those who have lived through trauma. Her background includes a Master’s Degree from the University of Connecticut with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy, and a Bachelor’s Degree from Virginia Tech.

In sessions she asks about current concerns and your reasons for seeking help. Together you and she will set goals and identify small, manageable changes to try between meetings. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.

Sherri welcomes people of any race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity. She pays attention to strengths you already have and how to use them to move forward. Her style is collaborative and respectful, with an emphasis on practical tools.

People often come to Sherri for help with relationship problems, self-esteem, sleep issues, anger, and career stress. She also supports those navigating adoption or foster care concerns, family of origin issues, and recovery from loss or compassion fatigue.

How Sherri’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Sherri commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the nervous system and improve sleep and focus.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Sherri will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest methods to try. She sees therapy as a collaboration where adjustments are made based on what works for the individual.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. If you want to pursue care online, confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know what to expect. Online work can make it simpler to keep appointments during work breaks, reduce travel time, or choose a session that does not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises to an online setting so you can practice skills between meetings.
